Overview
Classification
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is one of the variants of ascitic fluid infections.[1] [2] Classification of ascitic fluid infections is based on neutrophil count and culture report.
| Type of Infection | Bacterial Culture Report | Neutrophil Count (per mm3) |
| Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis | Positive for one organism | >250 cells |
| Culture negative neutrocytic ascites | Negative | >250 cells |
| Monomicrobial nonneutrocytic bacterascites | Positive for one organism | <250 |
| Secondary bacterial peritonitis | Positive for many microbes | >250 |
| Polymicrobial bacterascites | Positive for many microbes | <250 |
